Seattle No Kings from the monorail

My mom texted me with a picture of her at one of the No Kings protests. Her first protest ever. The normies have awakened.

DC J6: 1.500 arrests
DC No Kings: zero

Tell me again which side is violent?

Greta Thunberg annoys the right because she's a reminder that it's possible to stay true to your moral principles even when it's inconvenient, and they fucking hate that

She was then, as she is now, on the front line of the final defence of the American Republic.
Maybe it's time to have some humility and fucking fall in behind her?

It’s so annoying that we all have to just continually point out how rules around/between decorum and violation are applied asymmetrically to vulnerable groups versus the people who are always hassling them, and it’s extra insulting that the people in charge are trying to lol it away.

Happening now: Hundreds of rabbis and Jewish community members gather in Brooklyn for a mass public memorial service on Yom Kippur, demanding a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and for the U.S. to stop arming Israel.

Matthew 15:29-31: And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them after verifying their citizenship status.

Noisy, hungry frogs sadden farmer's life. They scare his cattle and they also eat his flannel shirt.

Become ungovernable

I really need all of us to abandon any impostor syndrome. It’s time.

you don't get to only fight the fights you know you'll win

"We're losing because there are always moments when we lose" is a lesson that Ta-Nahisi Coates understands intuitively, and that Ezra Klein has never had to, and that difference speaks volumes about American history.

It is really funny that Jimmy Kimmel Live showed more moral fortitude and adherence to a system of values than Columbia University

Huntington's progression slowed by experimental gene therapy An experimental gene therapy slowed Huntington’s by up to 75 percent in a small clinical trial. While not a cure, it may give patients longer lives.

In reporting this piece on the new trial for a Huntington's treatment, I was struck by one thing in particular:

The joy.

One of my sources wept for joy. He has spent his entire career studying this disease, he said it was the happiest day. www.sciencenews.org/article/hunt...

It took just three days to get Sinclair to back down, and what it got in exchange for agreeing to put Kimmel back on the air was...nothing. This is not what happens every time you stand up to a bully, but if you don't fight back, you'll never know if you would have won.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

"the menswear guy isn't fair and balanced." do you even hear yourself?

"fork lady is eroding public confidence."

"ladder baby is undermining the credibility of the field."

"lemon raccoon is acting without transparency or accountability."

that's what you sound like.

Post with the address to use for Disney-ABC, along with a note from a social media manager saying that 10,000 social media comments will get brushed off but a single paper letter can drive a company to panic. The address is Disney-ABC Home Entertainment and Television Distribution, 500 S. Buena Vista St., Burbank, CA 91521-3515.

My printed and signed letter, in business letter format, with my address and signature hidden.

WRITE DISNEY A LETTER.

Not email. Not social media.

WRITE DISNEY A LETTER. On PAPER. Put it in an ENVELOPE and MAIL IT.

Yeah, they'll think you're old(er). They'll also think you have 1) money and 2) maybe children, more likely grandkids.

Sarah McLachlan cancels Disney premiere performance over Jimmy Kimmel suspension McLachlan and Jewel were reportedly set to perform at the premiere of ‘Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery – The Untold Story’

McLachlan and fellow artists canceled their Disney premiere performance after Kimmel’s suspension, denouncing censorship. Stars from Pedro Pascal to Jean Smart joined calls to boycott Disney, exposing Trump’s hand in silencing dissenting voices.

Wow.

After being fired from @washingtonpost.com, my Substack, The Golden Hour, has been #1 rising bestseller in Culture for three days.

Thank you all for the support!!

I've said this before, but IMO we need to spend less time OBSERVING that Trump is engaged in authoritarian corruption and more trying to use language to build pressure to stop it.

Same with Tom Homan's bribe. Yes, it was a bribe. Who can we embarrass politically for letting it happen.

Getting Jimmy Kimmel fired didn’t lower the price of my coffee…

Meanwhile in Canada:

"New Prime Minister suspends environmental protections, individual rights, and (checks notes) TREATIES"

#BillC5

It was very telling that for three days, none of the major TV anchors would have me on air one-on-one to talk about my firing from the Washington Post over Charlie Kirk.

The first offers were from
Black media, independent media, Substackers, and podcasters.

🚨 Last night it was Jimmy Kimmel. This summer, Colbert. Authoritarians start by silencing comedians and critics. I am introducing a resolution condemning Trump’s attacks on free speech.

This isn’t partisan: I urge Republicans & Democrats to cosponsor this urgent appeal.

THIS. 1000 times THIS ⬇️

"People operating in good faith need to stop self-flagellating over their mistakes"

Listen to critiques from your LEFT, not your right, and even then only from people who have their sleeves rolled up.
